Ayurveda is endowed with soundness, sufficiency and sustenance so it could survive through the ages.

People visit these centres to take a break from the materialistic world and to get in touch with their spiritual side as well as to get benefits of the holistic and completely natural healing of mind, body and soul. Words like spirituality and soul may sound outdated in the modern materialistic world, but it’s a fact that this same modern world is the reason behind all the mental tension, anxiety and unrest that is being created in all of us. That is also because somewhere down the line, some parts of our body don’t get properly nourished, and those parts are our soul and inner self.
